i always find these pictures taken at serra pelada in '86 are absolutely gob-smacking.

 

Some of those are so heartbreaking. Especially the one with the little boy and his drunk father.


I would also like to post one.


Vedran Smajlović performs in Sarajevo's partially destroyed National Library in 1992


Vedran Smailović (born 11 November 1956), known as the "Cellist of Sarajevo", is a musician from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and a former cellist in the Sarajevo String Quartet.
He played in the Sarajevo Opera, the Sarajevo Philharmonic Orchestra, The Symphony Orchestra RTV Sarajevo, and the National Theatre of Sarajevo.
Regularly playing his cello in ruined buildings during the siege of Sarajevo, most notably performing Albinoni's Adagio in G Minor, Smailović caught the imagination of people around the world.

I think Nick Ut's takes the bacon... I had a book of all his work somewhere, which I think got lost in a move... but it never failed at making me feel really shit. Shots of war and poverty from all over the world.. really powerful stuff.
